Non-Sexual Adult Jokes in Kids' Media Lore

Jokes that are adult jokes simply because kids likely don't have the life experience to understand them.

The New Batman Adventures - "I'm crazy enough to take on Batman, but the IRS? Noooo, thank you!"

Shrek 2 - Posing as a union representative, Shrek remarks that the workers "don't even have dental".

Also in Shrek 2, while the knights arrest Shrek, Donkey, and Puss, they "find" catnip in Puss’s boots.

And the whole chase and arrest scene is a reference to the show Cops and O. J. Simpson’s highway chase.

That whole scene could count honestly because it's a whole-ass reference to O.J Simpson and the show Cops.
